The Wind Came In Languid Gusts Like

I Think As Far As Straight Actors Playing Gay Roles, "brokeback Mountain" Was A Big Breakthrough. I'm Pretty Sure When They Were Casting That Movie That - I Think The Story Is, Like You Know, 10 To 15 Other Actors Turned It Down.

Most Of The Books That I've Adapted I'm Doing Because I Love The Book And I Feel Like It's A Great Work Of Art In Itself, And When It's A Great Book I Feel As A Director Or A Writer That I Have A Responsibility To Rise To The Level Of The Original. It Makes Me Try To Reach Higher.

I Needed An Outlet In High School And Came Across Painting. I've Actually Been Painting Longer Than I've Been Acting. A Movie Is A Collaborative Effort, And With Painting You Just Have Yourself.

It's Basically The Best Job In The World. If You're Fortunate Enough - And I Consider Myself Fortunate - You Get To Work With Your Friends And You Get To Work On Projects That Interest You.

When We Were Doing 'freaks And Geeks', I Didn't Quite Understand How Movies And Tv Worked, And I Would Improvise Even If The Camera Wasn't On Me. I Thought I Was Helping The Other Actors By Keeping Them On Their Toes, But Nobody Appreciated It When I Would Trip Them Up. So I Was Improvising A Little Bit Back Then, But Not In A Productive Way.
